This picture, I would have said, was perfect many stages ago but it just kept getting better! It's not the kind of thing I would do really but I have it now as a reference. It can't hurt to have. Amazing.

I think I could stare at this tut all day and still not be able to come close to what you have created but it is incredible to see your progress in a semi-step-by-step.Congratulations on your Daily Deviation

that's really nice!! what programme did you use? is it free?i'm really interessed in drawing with my computer but i can't find a satisfying program D: (and of course i don't want to spend too much money)

Well, if you are don't want to spent too much money but you are okay with spending at least a bit money on it I would highly recommend you to try out Paint tool SAI. I love this program, and you easily can download a free testversion to have look at it Maybe you want to check out my main account *Lodchen to have a look at some examples what can be done in SAI I also have a little SAI Tutorial submitted there

You forgot to mention the symbol on her shoulder at the end. XD Great job! I don't know if I will ever actually use this, but this is cool! I like how it seems to transition from a realistic look in the second-to-last picture to an almost comic-book-look in the last one. This is great!
